Nicole Richie Gushes About Baby Harlow

Nicole Richie, who appears on the cover of this week's People magazine with daughter Harlow, couldn't help but gush about her 9-month-old.

"Harlow's a delicate soul," Richie said. "She studies people. She's very coy. People say that she and I make the same expressions. But everyone says she looks like Joel."

"I'm cool with it," said Madden, calling Nicole the best mom he's ever seen. "As long as she doesn't look like me in a wig when she's 16."

The couple, fresh off the road with a Good Charlotte tour, have just moved into a new home in L.A. and are in the throes of planning an October 19 walk to help end family homelessness.

Nicole Richie: Maternity Designer!

Chic new-mama, Nicole Richie, told WWD at a Balenciaga fete in Los Angeles that she'd be creating her own signature maternity line. "I wore so much Balenciaga during my pregnancy ... When my shirts got too short, I wore Joel's with a jacket on top ... My line will be about making women look and feel good at a really emotional time ... It's about showing your best self, not your tied, word-down self."

Harlow Winter looks like her mom

Days after he and Nicole Richie welcomed daughter Harlow, Joel Madden can't stop gushing over his newborn. "I am finally home with my beautiful girlfriend and our brand new little daughter," he writes on his DCMA Collective Web site under the heading "It's a Girl!!!!" "She is 19 inches long and growing everyday already! We are so blessed to have this beautiful little baby in our lives." He adds that the baby "looks so much like her mom its crazy!" And how is Harlow? "She eats like a little maniac and she's really sweet," Madden says. "She barely ever cries, even when daddy is changing her diaper, and believe me I suck when it comes to diapers, but I'm learning! I can't wait to show off some pictures." He is asking friends and family not to send gifts or cards, but to "make a donation to the Richie-Madden Foundation, which we started in Harlow Winter's honor."

Nicole due this week

The countdown-to-baby has begun for Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. Their first child is due "sometime in the next week," Madden's older brother Josh told reporters at the FUZE/Resolution Slenderize bash in Hollywood Wednesday night. Just don't expect the eldest Madden to dish any secrets on the impending arrival. "That's all we know," he said. "We don't know what [gender] it is. We don't know any names. I'm being completely honest, I swear!" Josh – whose next gig is DJ-ing at a Sundance Film Festival party with younger brother Benji – said he's recently logged some quality time with both brothers and, of course, Richie. "Christmas was awesome," said Josh, whose younger sister Sarah also recently gave birth. "Nicole couldn't fly, but we were all there. My sister's baby was born on he 20th, so it was right before." And yes, the proud uncle has already picked out his baby present. "I got them some clothes, that's what I'm into," Josh said. "We're very excited."
